The hardest part about writing is the thinking Before, during, after, forever Other than that, I don’t mind it.

@tmuxvim Agreed. Then they come here for machine gun fire confirmation bias.

i have a theory that all the people complaining about Claude getting worse actually just vibe-coded themselves a massive ball of slop without paying any attention to architecture and they gradually start noticing poor Claude struggling with it more and more

@ShanuMathew93 The haphazard token burn is crazy

Opus is so unbelievably nerfed today, it's like talking to a model from 2-3 years ago. What is going on

The internet is so cool

@james406 This is what being in a startup is like

i never hit my Claude limits that's because i've told Claude to only respond with "No." to all my ideas follow me for more AI hacks

This number is one of the few scraps of certainty we have.

@TheBlueGem3 @cmcalgary @IndepenceArmy Yes! I grew up in rural Alberta. Never once saw the AB flag without the Canadian flag. Definitely never had a hype song

@IndepenceArmy 4th Generational Albertan here. This is the most embarrassing and bizarre cult like bullshit I’ve ever seen in all my life. Those poor children are being indoctrinated.

Went out to the Event in Morinville tonight thought I would share a cute song.

@internetvin Very cool will have to test

Working with a terminal embedded into Obsidian has fundamentally changed how I use a computer. I could never go back.

@rileybrown One use case I found - cowork can access Google Docs with dispatch. Maybe CC can too? I haven’t set it up but already connected with Claude desktop

There’s like no reasons to use cowork over using Claude code. It’s just less capable.

@levelsio I can now. Couldn’t before.

Okay and who of you couldn't reply to this? Please please only if you couldn't okay?

Oooph

The work is never done, only put down. Some days the work feels like a hamster wheel. The next email. The next idea. The next thing to ship. It makes you feel behind even when you’re producing. It’s the nature of the process. The craft is learning how to set the tools down and return to being a person.

Curiosity is the precursor to opportunity. Opportunities show up in conversations you almost skip, favors you don’t have time for, and problems that aren’t yours. They appear as detours. Follow them anyway. Curiosity puts you in rooms your plans never would have found. Meaningful shifts start by following what’s interesting. Care first and the leverage will find you.

You won't improve if you don't share. There’s a persistent belief that you can refine something until it’s “ready”. That one more pass will make it “better”. But you’re a distorted mirror when you judge your own output. The moment you share, the world shows you what’s confusing, what works. The sharpest feedback loop is exposure.

The future is yesterday

@thejustinwelsh Didn’t understand a word of it but I enjoyed his energy. Cool concept for the show.

Thoughts on the Bad Bunny halftime show: If you wanted to hate it, you likely hated it. If you wanted to love it, you likely loved it. If you don't know Bad Bunny or his music, you probably enjoyed it. I thought it was entertaining, and I know absolutely nothing about him.

3 lessons from January twenty-twenty-Six: I. Overthinking is a privilege. It shows up when you have options, time, and room to choose. Kierkegaard called anxiety the dizziness of freedom. You can only be anxious if you have alternatives, if you have something to lose. So if you're stuck in a ruminating spiral, the spiral itself is proof you have options. That's not nothing. Reframe, refocus, make a move. II. You are always selling something. Your capabilities, your competency, your value. The only choice is what. Some people choose what they're selling at 18 and stick with it forever. Others never really decide, so they sell what's available. The lucky ones get to be intentional about it, to sell something aligned with who they are. Be aware of what you’re selling. Make it something you believe in. III. Waiting doesn't make it cheaper. It's tempting to wait until you feel secure about a purchase. But the security never comes. What comes instead is higher prices. Bread, homes, services, tools. It all goes up. So stop waiting to feel good about the number. Get the thing, do the thing, have the experience. It's only going to get more expensive. Live now.

Much more than a cartoonist

3 lessons from December twenty-twenty-five: I. Life is too short for silence. Silence breeds distortion. Nuance dies. Stories grow louder than reality. Unspoken thoughts turn into resentment. Most tension isn’t caused by conflict, but by avoidance. Have the conversation. Make the move. Say the thing. Do the thing. Clumsy honesty is better than quiet contempt. II. Kind words are not enough. Apologies without effort don’t heal anything. Nor do good intentions accomplish anything without follow-through. Care is demonstrated, not declared. It has to be visible. Tangible. Repeated. Kindness is a verb. Show up. Try. Act. III. Unspoken expectations are prison walls. Expectations exist whether you admit them or not. They form quietly, then harden, turning into silent contracts no one agreed to. When they go unmet, frustration follows. Speak what you need. Risk being let down and feeling disappointment. That’s freedom. Anything less is self-made confinement. — Find more in Sundays With ScootyDub. (Don’t miss the cool gif at the end) open.substack.com/pub/scootydub/…
